Responding to Call Waiting

When you’re on a call, Call Waiting alerts you to incoming calls by sounding two beeps. Your device’s screen informs you that another call is coming in and displays the caller’s phone number (if it is available and you are in digital mode).

To respond to an incoming call while you’re on a call:

Press the Talk key. (This puts the first caller on hold and answers the second call.)

To switch back to the first caller:

 Press the Talk key again.

Tip

For those calls where you don’t want to be interrupted, you can temporarily disable Call Waiting by pressing *7 0 before placing your call. Call Waiting is automatically reactivated once you end the call.

Making a Three-Way Call

With Three-Way Calling, you can talk to two people at the same time. When using this feature, the normal airtime rates will be charged for each of the two calls.

1.Place the first call, or take an incoming call.

2.Press the Talk key to put the first call on hold, and dial a second number.

3. When you’re connected to the second party, press the Talk key to begin the three-way call.

If one of the parties in the current call hangs up, you and the remaining caller still remain connected.

If you initiated the call and are the first to hang up, all other callers are disconnected.
